Chapter 173
“Yes, don’t you know you have a daughter?”
“Daughter? I have a daughter? How many things are you hiding from me?”
Noah was utterly shocked by her words.
Madeline Grant, that wicked woman! If It isn’t because I’m dying, I don’t know how long she will hide that from me!
“Want to know how much I have kept from you?”
“Of course.”
“If we survive, I will tell you everything you want to know.”
“Promise?”
“Yes, I promise!” Madeline nodded in desperation.
Noah stared at her and grinned.
Two minutes left.
It seemed like Madeline would not leave him alone no matter what!
“Madeline, do you trust me?”
“No, I don’t trust men,” Madeline said sarcastically.
She kept her head down, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
Even though she was encouraging Noah to not give up, deep down she knows that the bomb could not be defused!
“I’ll take that as an indication that you trust me!” Noah pushed Madeline out of the way and ran towards the exit.
Madeline was stunned by his action, but she immediately knew what he was planning in his head.
“Noah, shit!”
How can he abandon Madeline to die alone?
“Beep, beep beep….”
The timer on the digital bracelet let out a beeping sound, indicating that there was one minute left.
Noah ran, as fast as he could, to the staircase and towards the exit.
Since Madeline insisted on not leaving, he brought the bomb away from her.
He wanted her to live, even if she would despise him for the rest of her life.
“Noah Quincy!”
Madeline stumbled to get up and ran in the same direction as him.
Before she could reach the staircase, a loud bang occurred, followed by a violent shaking of the building.
The quake made Madeline lose her balance and roll down the stairs.
It stopped, but Madeline felt that her heart was crushed into pieces.
The bomb has already exploded.
Is he…dead?
Madeline lay on the floor, the light in her eyes diminished.
Words could not describe her despair.
The lights on the ceiling flickered and turned dark, just like her life.
Just as she lost her way in this darkness and was gradually swallowed by immense hopelessness, she heard a sweet and melodious voice that made her open her eyes instantly.
“Mommy, mommy, I’m here to save you!”
“Thomas?” Madeline was surprised. She pushed herself up and looked at Thomas, who was wearing
a helmet with a headlamp.
“Why are you here?” She asked.
Am I dreaming?
“Mommy, don’t be scared. I’m here to save you!” Thomas reached out his tiny hands and grasped her hand tightly, attempting to pull her up.
